i stayed up until 5am writing fic, slept four hours, grabbed my computer and had an hour long interpretation call and found out i'm travelling to [redacted] in a few months

D + E for rabbits are chasing...?

(ask meme)

D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?

goal of the century. naturally. maybe the only song i listened to for the month that it took me to write rabbits are chasing (for reasons mostly unrelated to the fic). i also had beware the dog on repeat while writing the press conference scene for like. general toxic nostalgia vibes lmao. but otherwise no playlist! i usually only make one if i'm struggling to figure out what a fic is about and am trying to reverse-engineer it through finding songs that have the same vibe, but i knew exactly what i wanted this fic to be from the start, so i never got around to making a proper playlist for it.

E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about?

i will preface this by saying that i have only ever written one successful sequel in my life so: don't get your hopes up. THAT BEING SAID. there is a google doc that lives on my computer titled LEMON that is of course about lewis and seb, 1 year post-le mans/??? months into an established relationship, getting the post-retirement zoomies and deciding to enter the 24 hours of lemons as a team (tl;dr that one race where you have to build a fucked-up car for less than $500 and then race it for 24 hours or as long as it lasts). featuring cars built by two people who have no business building cars, re-learning how to find very silly joy in something that for most of your life has been what you've built your identity around, building a life with someone now that there are no outside forces dictating/providing structure for your relationship to one another, and seb getting sexy little grease smudges on his face from tinkering with the car while trying to fix the engine so it can run on carbon-neutral fuel.

im freaking writingm some tragic lintroller broski this is so awesome

welcome back delis

Hii rat :3

How are you?

[aviss]

3, 18, 20, 30

3. What is the best fandom you’ve ever been involved in?

I have to say, probably the Kakairu fandom. I mean, I know it’s just a pairing but adult characters in an interesting setting and no drama in the fandom. As in zero drama. I’ve always loved it there. 

18. What ship have you written the most about?

Kakashi/Iruka, I think that’s the one ship I always go back to and the one I have more unfinished WIPs in my folders

20. Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking?

I think Kylux was the once that surprised me the most, because I usually need to like one of the characters and in that one I despise both.

30. What inspires you to write?

The characters mainly. If they are good characters and there are many unexplored avenues for them to interact, then I want to write about them

where are the essays about the queer themes in to your eternity, we got s2 on the horizon and we need them STAT 

[heyheyitsgrace]

We are ghosts at the family reunion, my cousin and I. White makeup coats our faces, flowing white sheets wrap around our bodies, and we fly into the front yard, up the driveway. We want to show her mother, but when her mother sees us she puts out her hands, palms first. Go back inside, she says, then looks behind her. It’s dark, but there is a street lamp some ways away. In my memory, it must have been a mile, at least, but I know it was closer. It provides enough light to see by, and in the yellow glow I see my father’s cousin, surrounded by other men. Two of them are trying to hold the cousin back as he struggles, his head tipped back like a wolf howling at the moon. He may have been howling, at something none of us could see. Go back inside.

Later, someone tells me that he was drunk. Somehow I find out that this is not the first time something like this has happened, that he should not have been drinking in the first place. Go back inside. He had just gotten out of prison, and years later my dad will refer to his sentence as an overreach by an eager prosecutor. No one tells us these things as we stand in the driveway, white sheets hanging limp around our bodies. Go back inside. Years and years after that, my family will be on vacation, and my father will get a phone call. His cousin is dead. He lies on the bed while his sunburned legs blister and peel. Go back inside.

for the fanfic ask: so many good questions... 1, 2, 7 please :)

I know, fun questions! From the fanfic asks here

1. If you’re an author, how many WIPs do you currently have? (Be honest!)

... That really depends on whether we’re talking WIPs I still actively work on or works I started once upon a time and just didn’t finish.

If it’s the latter, I’ve quite lost count. Maybe around 20.

If it’s the former, then I’d say... 6.

One new The Untamed fic that isn’t letting me go, an old Star Wars fic which I’m still hoping to finish one day, a Fantastic Beasts selkie AU that already has 20k written before I stalled, and three NCIS oneshots that may or may not still be finished one day.

2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)

Answered here

7. What’s the last thing you read that made you cry?

ODear

Hi there, I'm writing here tonight because I feel lost. I've felt like this for the past few months now and I don't know why. My life is good, not exceptional, not horrible, it's good. But why do I feel like that's not enough?

I am a loner, I've always been an introvert kid. But in the last years something changed, and I've started speaking to people a lot more and gaining more confidence. So it's not like I have no friends, it's more like... I don't know.

Yesterday I saw a picture of me that was taken. I looked fat. And thats because I gained weight. And so I started to question myself again about whether or not the reason for which I'm still feeling alone is my appearance.

Because, let's be real, in this society appearance matters the most. Have you ever heard about the protagonist of a book or movie that was not beautiful? Well there are some examples out there, but they are always pointing out to the persons difference and hows she/he is special because of it.

The fact is that, if you are not beautiful, society makes you feel like you are not worth enough to be happy.

And what is being happy anyway?

Is it having a girlfriend/boyfriend? Is it doing the job you've always dreamed of? Is it having children? Is it having a passion?

I don't know if those are the real ways to happiness. Yes, I do something I like doing, but its not like I've ever had a girlfriend/boyfriend, I haven't even kissed someone yet.

I'm nearly 20 and I've never kissed someone in my life. Like on the mouth, okay. And I feel ashamed to talk about it, so much that I've never told anyone before. Everyone expects you to have experienced so much, and talks to you like you know everything about it.

I don't know how it is like to kiss someone, and the reason for which I haven't kissed someone yet in my life is that I never felt that spark for anyone.

The spark.

Which spark? Does it really exist? Or is just some myth that actually never existed?

And what am I? I'm I asexual just because I haven't felt something yet? Should I just accept that as the answer to my question and let me put in this box?

Why do we need a box anyway? Why do people feel the need the subdivide other people in different boxes? Like he is blonde so he goes in the blonde box, she is gay so she goes in the lesbian box, the cat is red so he goes in the red cat box.

I don't wanna be in a box, because there is not a box which can fit all of me.

But isn't this something that you've heard before?? Do not divide people in different categories. It's a thing that people have been saying for years now. So why is it still like this?

I am not asexual, not that there is anything wrong with being asexual, its just that I do want to feel something and share my feelings with somebody. Its just that I don't know who this someone is, or if he/she even exists.

I feel lost because I don't know who I am anymore. Jezz, I feel like I have never known myself at this point. The thing is I don't know which my hobbies are, if I have any real talent or even if I'm capable of loving someone that isn't my family or my friends.

The thing I know is that I want to know myself at some point, and that if I really want to I really need to try things out and see the world.

The world is a terrifying place, but it's also amazing.

I'm gonna start my journey from now on.

I'm gonna live in order to find myself, and I hope that you, if you are reading this, and you got to the end of it, maybe you should do this too.

Good luck, my friend.

Writing Meme

I was tagged by @whatthefenriis ,

Thank you for tagging me :D 

Is there a snack you like to eat while writing?  

I’m addicted to making ‘adult’ smoothies or drinking earl grey when I’m writing. The earl grey is pretty self explanatory but the adult smoothies is usually frozen yogart, berries, fruit and some kinda of delicious rum. I … tend to edit sober….an unhealthy snack. 

What time of day do you usually write?

Usually after work or on weekeneds…work keeps me super busy and tired. :) 

Where do you write?

In my bedroom, it’s the smallest room in the house and usually cluttered with books and blankets. I feel very comfortable in a cozy tiny space and my roommate tends to stay out of it, unless she needs the body mirror. lol I tend to be more comfortable writing in my ‘hobbit’ hole because there is little to no disturbances. lol 

How often do you write a new fic?

I usually write the most on weekends. Unfortunely, my job keeps me really busy Monday-Friday and it’s the only time I get to write.  

Do you listen to music while you write?

I have a playlist :D I think it’s consider pop/rock alternative music.I think I’ll post some more songs on Tumblr soon, but here a few songs. 

1) Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez

2) Muddy Waters by LP

3) High Enough by K. Flay

4) Believer by Imagine Dragons

5) River by Bishop Briggs

6) What’s It’s Like by Everlast

Paper or laptop?

Laptop for the most part, at least most of my finished chapters are stored on google drive. I do have some written works in a note book, but I tend not to finish them.  Do you have a special pre-writing ritual?

No…I’m kinda boring. 

What do you do to get into the writing?

 I usually read a book, a short story, or sketch out some of the characters. :) Gets the brain juices going. I’m currently rereading Brave New World.

What do you always have near the place you write?

Usually a drink and thesaurus….god I have an unnatural love affair with the thesaurus. So many wonderful adjectives… <3

Do you have a reward system for word counts?

No, not really… I’m sorry I’m really boring.

Is there anything else about your writing process your readers don’t know?

I have a lot of short stories, that’ll never see the light of day…  

I’m tagging @frenchy-and-the-sea, @avitusrixx , @merwild , @colonelcupquakebut you guys don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.
